does anyone know what the outgoing mail server is for fast4 as i'm having trouble getting it to work in outlook.

The only settings I have are:-

Incoming mail server: POP3; Incoming mail (POP3): mail.fast4.net; Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.fast4.net

does that outgoing one work for you

No.

I use a different isp for my emails and only use fast4 for surfing. When I signed up with them I got another email account so I set it up and tested it. It worked then.

I just tried it again and it failed. So I checked the members area. It (now) gives alternative settings:-

pophost1.fast4.net OR mail.fast4.net
mailhost.fast4.net OR smtp.fast4.net

I tried it with the new settings and it did send it, hasn't arrived yet though. You do need to use both new settings.

Give it a go and see what happens.

EDIT: It has arrived now- went into the spam folder though.

I don't use my fast4.net email but I check it every day. It did have a problem yesterday (- presumably part of their recent hardware failure), but it seems ok today.
